"I highly recommend 1st Avenue woodworking for all beginners! I recently took their level 1 woodworking course, and it was an awesome experience! I had a lot of fun making my bench, which came out fantastic. The project/lesson was well organized and extremely hands-on. Both Ed and Randy were great teachers with a wealth of knowledge. They taught me a lot of great tricks that I would have never learned from just the internet alone. I can’t wait to take their level 2 course!"

"I attended furniture and cabinet making 3 course. As a hobbyist, the class was very informative, Ed has a great way of sharing his knowledge at a level understandable to anyone. Even with the virus limitations, we were able to work through complete assembly of the cabinet. The workshop is easy to get to and well laid out for all who attend. The equipment is top notch and I enjoyed being able to pick a large board to lay out cut parts for the build. I am looking forward to the wood finishing class and may take the cabinet making 2 course to better learn planning of dimensions and proportions. Thanks to the whole First Avenue crew! Chris"

"I have taken almost all of Ed's classes and he has turned me into a woodworking animal.Now I'm the guy that can make furniture for my home and as gifts for good friends. Safety was a concern of mine. I've never really worked with a table saws before and Ed took the time to make me feel comfortable around machinery. I would recommend his classes to anyone and you could become a woodworking animal too!!"

"I've taken a couple of classes at 1st Ave. woodworking and am signing up for another, Furniture Making and Cabinet Making 2. Then the next is class 3 and then the finish class. You don't have to be an expert woodworker to enjoy their classes. Ed is very helpful and easy to understand. He seems to be able to easily communicate at your level of woodworking skill. I highly recommend all of their classes. You can view a lot of Ed's work at the shop on 1st Avenue in Royersford, PA. Feel free to contact them with any questions."

"I’ve taken three courses at 1st Avenue woodworking and have enjoyed all of them enormously. The classes are organized and instructional and all the students get hands on experience making their own project. Both Ed and Sherrie are patient and informative, sharing their years of knowledge in woodworking and finishing. I highly recommend these classes for anyone interested in the joy of using their hands to create or refurbish a piece of furniture. I’m looking forward to my fourth class in April. Can’t wait!"
